Topic: Sirs and Dames on SNL (Read 3043 times)

Just got around to watching Sir Elton and Dame Helen on two SNL episodes. Anyone else see Elton?I thought his opening monologue about his baby was in your face pro-gay politics and Bravo!He did a great job on the whole show.Helen Mirren's show didn't give me too many laughs, disappointingly. Still love her though.

Watched both. I thought they were just okay. Elton without his glasses makes him look much older, because you see the years. One of the last skits on the Elton show was Elton as a gay cowboy. I liked the big cowboy french kiss. I never see guys french kiss as much as I do on SNL. Elton with Queen Elizabeth was funny.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I've never had a problem viewing any content from NBC - Tedderz is constantly linking to their news broadcasts and they've been viewable.

I was just hoping maybe a whole show was available somewhere. I just watched Elton's opening monologue on You Tube where he talks about his son and it was quite funny. Poor kid - his godmother is Lady GaGa!

And duh, don't know why I didn't think of it before, but I suppose I could just go to the NBC site and see if it isn't there. Just being lazy, I guess.

Boo-hiss... I can't watch SNL on the NBC site. Guess they don't mind people in other parts of the world watching their news, but not their entertainment programs. I suppose I could go grab a Yank IP addy from one of those proxy sites, but I can't be bothered right now. Feeling lazy today. I'll just have to stick with the clips on You Tubuals.

And I spent a few hours reading conspiracy theories on how Courtney killed him.

Even her own father says so. I think the fact he slummed around town all week looking sick, and then bought a shotgun at the local gunshop tells me all I need to know. Well, that along with the other multiple suicide attempts.

Yeah. But listening to people wax on and on about what a "genius" he was and how much they really "get" him and his distaste for fame and all that mess is almost enough to make me wanna taste lead.

His voice was terrible and guitar skills subpar at best. I guess the pain from a man suffering from bipolar disorder gave voice to the so called neglected generation, Generation X. I heard them live in 92, after the third set it was absolutely painful-- I had to leave. I agree, he wasn't all that.

I still don't get how this band overshadowed Layne Staley with Alice in Chains. Speaking of which, I think Staley's death was 8 years ago last week. Cantrell and Staley certaily harmonized well together.

Good save on the topic derail. But actually, your mention of Layne Staley makes me realize it probably isn't just a Cobain thing...just more pronounced in his case. Any time you get such unfortunate situations, it seems to inspire legions of people to blather on and on like they personally knew the guy and have ever such profound insights into it all.

Ann, are you able to watch the links below from hulu.com? Or, are they blocked? NBC is part owner in hulu, so I went there and found the full episodes. By the way, I must have fallen asleep during the Helen Mirren episode, because I missed the part where she gets a hot female on female kiss. It's usually the guys on SNL doing all the kissing. This was after the skit where the SNL female performers wanted to touch her breasts and went into this Heaven bliss state.

I wasn't sure how old Sir Elton is, so I had to look him up (on Who's Alive, Who's Dead, my go-to source for people's ages and birthdates); he just turned 64. Kind of old to have a new infant, it seems to me; how old is the partner? 20 years or so younger? Well, they say 60 is the new 40; 50 the new 30, etc. I don't think that applies to us AIDSy folks though....I know my 54 sure as hell isn't 34.....
